EWG is updating the Guide to Healthy Cleaning to reflect new information from Citra-Solv.

Product versions

Manufacturers frequently make changes to their product ingredients, formulations or labeling, and older versions may still be on store shelves or in your home. When possible, EWG's Guide rates all available versions. It's important to read the label every time you shop, even though many labels don't offer complete information.

Green Certifications

This product is not certified as a green cleaner by either Green Seal or EcoLogo.

Some products may carry other seals or symbols that are not verified by independent audits,
do not consider health impacts or are promoted by manufacturers rather than independent entities.

Animal Testing

PETA Cruelty-free Companies

Companies that join the “Caring Consumer” program of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a leading international animal rights advocacy organization, attest that “neither they nor their ingredient suppliers conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations or finished products, and that they pledge not to do so in the future.”

Leaping Bunny

Products bearing the Leaping Bunny mark are certified cruelty-free under the Humane Household Products Standard, managed in the U.S. and Canada by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a coalition of eight national animal protection groups. Participating companies must open their processes to independent audits throughout the supply chain.
